In this book, Jeffrey teaches us how to look at life with a humorous perspective,

as he’s done to overcome many obstacles in his own life which he openly shares with the reader, such as conquering a severe stutter by developing a cure for Stuttering which he used on himself.

He teaches us how to release the “heart wounds” we all carry, that we’ve been collecting since childhood, caused by painful events in our lives whether it’s bullying, someone lying to us, breaking a promise, breaking up with us, or hurting us in some way.

One of the main tenets of the book is “ You can not change your past. The only thing you can change is your PERSPECTIVE of your past.”
